Sensory processing
influences an individual's overall
perception of the world.
Sensation provides reality and
meaning to our lives, connecting us to other
human beings and to life itself.
The way in which we interpret and
integrate sensory experiences influences our
interactions with the world around us and
the ability to adapt to environmental
demands.
In the pediatric setting, the
therapist will often see children diagnosed
with one of 3 Autism Spectrum Disorders:
Autistic Disorder, Asperger's
Disorder, and Pervasive Developmental
Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.
Sensory integration disorders have
been identified as prevalent in children and
adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
In this course, the therapist will
learn: diagnostic criteria for Autistic
Spectrum Disorders, the relationship between
ASD and sensory processing, sensory
integration theory, evaluation of sensory
processing in children with ASD, treatment
strategies for children with sensory
processing disorders and ASD, sensory
integration evidence-based practice and
research.
